With the future of the DCEU weighing on it’s shoulders, all eyes were on Wonder Woman to have an impressive opening box office weekend. And with an impressive $223 million haul at the global box office, those expectations were well and truly met. $100.5 million (well above the estimates of between $65 and $75 million) of that was made stateside, where the film is the 16th superhero movie to cross the $100 million mark in it’s opening weekend, and puts its opening take over those of Iron Man ($98.6 million), Doctor Strange ($85 million), and Thor ($65.7 million).
This opening also gives Patty Jenkins the biggest opening of all time for a female director, handily surpassing the $85 million set by Sam Taylor-Johnson for Fifty Shades of Grey. This is made even more impressive that this Jenkins’ second feature, her first, of course, being 2003’s Monster. Internationally, Wonder Woman has posted a haul of $122.5 million, with $38 million of that coming from the lucrative Chinese market, making it the fourth biggest Warner Bros. opening there.
